What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities; virtual charter school pupils The bill allows a pupil who attends a virtual charter school to participate in interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities in the pupil's resident school district.
Under current law, a school board must allow a homeschooled pupil who resides in the school district to participate in interscholastic athletics and extracurricular activities. Current law further provides that a school board may charge a homeschooled pupil a participation fee on the same basis that the school board charges participation fees to pupils enrolled in the school district. The bill extends these provisions to pupils who attend a virtual charter school. Under the bill, a school board may charge a virtual charter school pupil a participation fee on the same basis it charges participation fees to pupils enrolled in the school district.

Interscholastic athletic association; transfer rules in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years This bill prohibits a school district from being a member of an interscholastic athletic association in the 2021-22 school year unless, during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years, the association allows an exception to the association's transfer rules based on the manner in which educational programming was delivered during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years. Specifically, under the bill, for purposes of eligibility during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years, the interscholastic athletic association must consider the method by which educational programming was delivered during the 2020-21 or 2021-22 school year to be an extenuating circumstance that justifies transferring schools. Under the bill, the “method of delivering educational programming” includes virtual instruction, in-person instruction, and a combination of both virtual and in-person instruction.
Additionally, if a waiver is granted based on the method of delivering educational programming in the 2020-21 or 2021-22 school year, the association must allow the pupil to play any level of athletics, including varsity athletics.
